DUTCH PANCAKES AKA “PUFFERS”

This recipe is a childhood favorite of mine! My sisters and cousins will all agree that when were we asked what we wanted for breakfast, the answer was usually a resounding ‘PUFFERS!’. Perhaps it was because this was really our chance at a breakfast sprinkled with powered sugar or topped with maple syrup. It could also be that it was fun to watch them puff as they baked. Today, I usually top mine with fresh fruit and pure maple syrup or peanut butter and pure maple syrup. No matter what pancake toppings you desire, just GO FOR IT!

This recipe is a childhood favorite and brings back fond memories of my mother making 'puffers' for us as we sat in front of the oven anxiously waiting for them to begin to puff.

Ingredients

2 eggs

½ cup flour

½ cup milk

1 Tablespoon of butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Mix eggs, flour and milk together in a mixing bowl. Mixture will be lumpy.

Melt 1 Tablespoon of butter in an 8X8 baking dish

Pour mixture into the melted butter and bake at 425 for 20 minutes.

Remove and serve immediately as they will begin to deflate as they cool.

Notes

Be sure you have the oven rack in the middle as these ‘puff’ up quite a bit.If you double the batch they will be thicker pancakes and take a couple extra minutes to bake. You can also double or triple this recipe and bake them in a 9X13 pan.
